History

Keanan first appeared in Defending the Homeland!, where he was driving down the road with his Bellsprout when they drove past Ash and his friends taking a break. Bellsprout recognized its old friend Goomy in Ash's Goodra and got Keanan to recognize it as well. They approached the group and were greeted happily by Goodra. He then introduced himself to Ash and his friends and took them to the swamp. He explained to the group what happened to the Pokémon originally living at the swamp and how Goodra had been driven away from the swamp when it was still a Goomy. Although he regretted that the Pokémon living at the swamp had been attacked and driven away by a Florges and her army to a remote corner, he refused to interfere, stating that matters between Pokémon should be solved by Pokémon themselves. As such, he stopped Ash from helping Goodra when the Florges and her army attacked again. He did, however, approve of Ash and his friends cheering Goodra on.

When Goodra was mysteriously attacked and badly hurt by a Shadow Ball and a Psybeam coming out of nowhere, Keanan treated Goodra in his house. He then went through video footage with Clemont to deduce where the Shadow Ball and Psybeam attacks had come from.

In Beyond the Rainbow!, Keanan met up with Ash and his friends when they went into the swamp to search for Pikachu, Dedenne, and Wooper, who had been abducted. Keanan told Clemont that there was something that had been bothering him for a while and thus would not go search with them. Keanan had studied the water level of a spring with special healing powers located in the swamp and discovered it had been affected by an unknown source. He quickly went to Ash and his friends to tell them this, only to find out Team Rocket was already taking off with the water. After Ash and his friends defeated Team Rocket, he checked the ground of the swamp and concluded it had completely dried up. As such, it would never be as ideal for Pokémon to live at as it had been. Just at that moment, Goodra stepped forward and used Rain Dance, followed by Florges (who had switched allegiances) using Grassy Terrain. This caused the swamp to become lush again. He witnessed how Florges and her former army now came to live in peace with the swamp's original inhabitants. He was also present when Ash released Goodra for it to live with its friends again and afterwards said his goodbyes as Ash and his friends continued on their journey.

Bellsprout

Bellsprout is Keanan's only known Pokémon. It was good friends with Ash's Goodra when it was still a Goomy and before it was accidentally taken away from the swamp.

Keanan was driving down the road with Bellsprout when they drove past Ash and his friends taking a break. Even though Goomy had evolved twice since Bellsprout had last seen it, Bellsprout still instantly recognized it. It ran towards Goodra and they greeted each other happily. Although Goodra seemed somewhat hesitant to return to the swamp it used to live, it was persuaded by Bellsprout to go.

Looks after

Goodra was once a Goomy that happily lived in a swamp together with many other Pokémon. However, one day a Florges and her army attacked and took over their land. Florges came up to Goomy and attacked it. This caused it to be swept away, landing on the back of a Swanna and carried away from its homeland.

In A Slippery Encounter!, it fell of the Swanna and met Ash and his friends. It bonded with Ash and was caught by him. During its time with Ash, Goomy evolved twice. In Defending the Homeland! it finally returned to its homeland. It was reunited with its old friends and together, with help from Ash and his friends, they stood up against Florges, her army and Team Rocket and were ultimately victorious. However, during the battle, Goodra and its friends realized that Florges wasn't truly evil as they believed she was and her only motive was saving her daughter, Floette. When Team Rocket drained the swamp, Goodra and Florges revived it with Rain Dance and Grassy Terrain and the spring water returned. Once Floette was fully recovered, Florges and Goodra made amends and all is forgiven. Goodra then chose to leave Ash and stay at its homeland.

They lived happily in peace with the other Pokémon living at the spring, when a Florges and her army attacked. Due to the ruckus that followed, a lot of Swanna panicked and left the swamp. When Goomy was swept away by Florges, it landed on the back of a Swanna and was taken away from the swamp. Some of the Swanna chose to stay at the swamp however, and went to live in a remote corner of the swamp, forced to live in obscurity.

In A Slippery Encounter!, the Swanna with Goomy on its back flew near Route 12, where it dropped Goomy off and it landed on Ash's head. In the same episode, Swanna also appeared in flashbacks.

In Defending the Homeland!, Goomy returned to the swamp, now as a fully evolved Goodra. One particular Swanna warned it and the other Pokémon living at the swamp that Florges and her army were attacking again.

In Defending the Homeland!, after a lot of time, the Goomy that used to live at the swamp returned to its old home. It had become a fully evolved Goodra and happily reunited with the Gulpin and the other Pokémon. The reunion was short-lived, however, as a Swanna warned them of another attack of Florges and her army. Led by Goodra, they went up against the army and proceeded to try to drive them away.

The Yanmega mainly acted as aerial support in Florges's army, carrying around Ariados and Pinsir and dropping them off above their enemies. One Yanmega has been seen carrying Florges around. They participated in Florges's original raid on Goodra's homeland, and later again on Florges's second attack on Goodra's friends. They also stood guard at the spring where Florges hid itself and faced off against Ash and his friends.

Although they harshly attacked Goodra and its friends, they were not truly evil; they were aware that Florges wanted to take over Goodra's homeland because it contained a spring with special healing powers and wanted to heal her daughter Floette in it. They later helped Ash, his friends and Goodra fight against Team Rocket and afterwards were allow to continue living in the swamp in peace together with the original inhabitants.

One particular Wooper that was good friends with Goomy was attacked by Florges together with Goomy during the raid on their homeland. It witnessed how Goomy was swept away, landed on the back of a Swanna, and was taken away from the swamp.

In Defending the Homeland!, Goomy returned, now as a fully evolved Goodra. Wooper heard it calling out for its old friends and approached Goodra. Even though at first it wasn't sure if it was the Goomy it used to know, it soon recognized and happily reunited with it. When Goodra was attacked by Team Rocket and badly hurt, Wooper stayed at its bedside. That night, Wooper was abducted by Florges's army together with Dedenne and Pikachu.

In Beyond the Rainbow!, it was saved by Ash and Goodra. After Goodra and Florges (who had switched allegiances) saved the swamp from Team Rocket and brought back life to the spring located in it, Wooper happily jumped on top of Goodra. Goodra later chose to leave Ash and stay at the swamp. It said its goodbyes to Ash and his friends as they continued on their journey.

They lived happily in peace with the other Pokémon living at the spring, when a Florges and her army attacked. With little choice left, the remaining Quagsire and the other Pokémon went to live in a remote corner of the swamp, forced to live in obscurity.

The Beedrill mainly acted as aerial support in Florges's army. They participated in Florges's original raid on Goodra's homeland, and later again on Florges's second attack on Goodra's friends. They also stood guard at the spring where Florges hid itself and faced off against Ash and his friends.

At first, Florges seemed like an evil Pokémon that drove Pokémon that lived peacefully in a swamp away for no particular reason. Some time before Defending the Homeland!, she managed to take over Goodra's homeland and swept away Goodra, who was then still a Goomy. In her conquest she was backed by a large army of strong Pokémon. The real reason why she had driven away Goomy and its friend was not revealed until later. She was taking care of her daughter Floette who was very ill, and the swamp Goomy and its friends lived in contained a spring with healing water.

She had also met with Team Rocket, who told Florges lies about Goodra and its friends and claimed they would help her in making Floette better. However, when Ash and Bonnie infiltrated the spring, Team Rocket revealed their true motives. They had really been planning on draining the spring and selling the rare healing water. Because of that, they were also indirectly responsible for Floette not getting better. From then on, she sided with Ash and Goodra and took down Team Rocket's airship. After they defeated Team Rocket however, the swamp had completely dried up. To make the swamp lush again, Goodra used Rain Dance, followed by Florges using Grassy Terrain. The healing water returned, and Florges bathed Floette in it to make it better. Afterwards, she continued to live in the swamp in peace together with her former army, Floette, Goodra, and the swamp's original inhabitants.

Because of an unknown reason, she had become very ill. Florges cared so much for her that she conquered a swamp where a group of Pokémon lived peacefully just so she could access the spring with healing water located in the swamp. Florges tried to heal Floette in the water, but the tide had become low because Team Rocket was secretly draining the spring, causing the healing effect to be insufficient. Florges later sided with Goodra to defeat Team Rocket and together they brought back life to the spring. Bathed in the fresh healing water, Floette quickly became better. Following this, she jumped up and brought Florges and Goodra together, to celebrate that they had become friends. Afterwards, she continued to live in the swamp in peace together with Florges and her former army, Goodra, and the swamp's original inhabitants.
